Movie Reviews of Tenacious D - The Complete Master Works
Movie Review: The Most In-Depth Review Ever!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tenacious D has become of the greatest bands rock has ever known, their debut record has gone gold, they have a movie hitting theaters next year in 2006, and their debut record has been listed in the top 40 metal records of all time in Spin Magazine. How can you not love the D? They are music gods, especially when it comes to guitar. If you have never heard of them, this DVD is for you. If you are a fan this DVD is for you. It's for everyone, and I love it. Here's my full review!
Tenacious D: The Greatest Band on Earth (the TV Series)
Besides the concert, this is definitely the best of the package. Each episode is very very funny and a must have not only for D fans, but Jack Black fans. What this short lived hit series is about is the D trying hard to get a record deal by playing at open mic night bars. It's fictional comedy stories and not real but they are hilarious! Episodes ranging from an obsessed fan in reverse, to Kyle stealing JB's love interest, hilarity is all that follows. Excellent stuff. This series was to go into a second season because it was a hit show but the people of HBO wanted creative rights to the D and D wouldn't have it so the show was prematurely cancelled. Here's a brief summary of what each is about.
The Search for Inspirado: Tenacious D has to come up with a new song to play at open mic night in three days because they have been singing the same song and the bar owner is tired of hearing it over and over again.
Angel in Disguise: Jack gives Kyle a friendship 4-ever medallion, Kyle will later prove his friendship.
Death of a Dream: Walking into a record store for an "unofficial" Tenacious D photo signing, they meet and talk to the cashier who was once upon a time also in a rock band. The cashier tell them of his glory days of a rocker in the 60's and that the dream of a being a rock star is impossible to reach. But the two he is talking to aren't mere men, they are Tenacious D!
The Greatest Song in the World: A writer moves in next door in the apartment building where Kyle and JB live, and the new tenant is upset because Kage (Kyle) and JB (Jack) keeping making noise. TD has to come up with a good exuse for the noise or they could be arrested by the police.
The Fan: Meeting an obsessed fan goes in reverse when Kyle and Jack think that their fan is cool and they begin to stalk him. *My favorite episode!!*
Road Gig: On a road trip to play at another bar, they become stranded in the desert, not because they are out of gas, but because they are out of windshield wiper fluid and there is a huge bug on the windshield.
Tenacious D: Live In London
It's back to basics when Tenacious plays a live acoustic concert of their hits from their debut album. The concert lasts a little over an hour and is very entertaining. Kyle and Jack exchange different jokes with each other, making fun and cutting down each other and a few unlucky audience members, but it's all in good fun. They really rock the house as they duel guitar, they can really play awesomely! Stages acts are also included as JB battles an inflated hydra during the song "Wonderboy".
On Disc Two "For Psycho Fans Only", there are a bunch of tasty special features to wet your dry pallet. Here is the list of what is on the second disc and my personal thoughts of them.
Short Films: These short films are X-rated (but not nudity) for sure and very rock but may be very offensive to some. Here's what they are in summary.
JB's BJ: Jack tries the hooker life as him gives the air a BJ (u know what I mean) in hopes that people driving in the street might pick him up. Little does he know the guy who picks him up may be someone he knows all too well, but doesn't recognize at first.
Rock Star's Sperm for Sale: Kage (Kyle) and JB (Mr. Black) decide the best way to make money is to sell their sperm, so they go into the restroom and do their business into a huge glass. When they have enough, they begin to sell it in the street by the name of what this film is called. They meet some pretty weird people.
Butt Baby: In the desert, Kyle and Jack try to go on a LSD trip only to discover that they didn't take LSD but used an E.P.T., a home pregnancy test, and even worse...Kyle's test is positive.
In the Studio
This is what it says, the making of the album "Tenacious D". Interviews with different staff members and a cameo by Dave Grohl.
TV Appearances
Mad TV: Tenacious D plays the song "Tribute" with Dave Grohl rocking out on drums. Overall great performance.
Crank Yankers: Puppet Jack and Puppet Kyle perform the song "Friendship" as their naked puppets (yes with their puppet wangs showing) run and act what the band is singing about. Funny, but seeing puppet genitalia wasn't necessary!
Late Night With Conan O'Brien: Dressed as superheroes, Tenacious D rock out with "Wonderboy". Conan's own drummer Max plays the drums during the performance and he really rocks! Those years with Bruce Springsteen have made Max a drum god!
Music Videos
Tribute- The premise of this video is simple; the two members of TD (Jack and Kyle) don't have money to record a record of their own. So they go to an in-store machine that lets you record a song, except you have to choose a previously recorded song to sing and can't record a song you wrote, that is until Jack begins to mess with the circuits. "Tribute" takes a less serious tone as a music video, unlike "Wonderboy" which ends with his death at the hands of his own sword. Yes, this is the video which features Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters making a cameo as the monster. Great song, Great video.
The Making of "Tribute": An in-depth look into the making of this video, I found this one to be more entertaining than the making of the Wonderboy video mainly because this has a few bloopers when their choreography doesn't go as smoothly as hoped and have to do take after take which is hilarious to watch. Another cool thing is that we see step by step how they turned Foo Fighter/Nirvana rock legend and friend to the band Dave Grohl into the snarling demon on the video. Overall, really cool stuff and a heck of a lot of fun to watch.
Wonderboy- Don't care what some people (mostly non fans) have to say about this video, "Wonderboy" has to be one of the best music videos I have seen. It actually looks fantastic and matches the song when it in itself feels like an epic journey. A lot of thought and imagination were put into this video, pure Rock imagination.
The Making of "Wonderboy": This is a pretty in-depth look at the making of the video for "Wonderboy". It includes interviews with the video's director Spike Jones, and interviews with Jack and Kyle. The big joke of the short documentary is that the cave in which the final scene takes place smells like crap. They talk about how they bought top soil to use for the ground of the cave, but Jack jokes that they must have really bought "Top Soil Brand Manure". Overall a very good look into the making of the video and it lasts longer than I had expected.
FHG: The concept for this video is that while Satan is having sex with his girl Tenacious D shows up uninvited and shows him Satan how to pleasure a lady right, and Satan sits back as he takes notes and lets Kyle and Jack work their magic. The video that I have never seen until I bought the DVD, and with good reason. This definitely wouldn't air on MTV or VH1. Raw but still funny.
On The Road
This is a very very funny movie that shows Tenacious D's tour around the world starting from day one. They go to radio stations, restaurants and everywhere else as they meet the D fans and we are allowed to follow them in their lives on the road. While on the bus they mainly hang out and play PS2 and when they eat, they usually eat the BBQ. They are even shown eating BBQ in Atlanta! I live near the Atl, I need to go check out that restaurant! Great stuff.

Overall Review
To put it simple, this DVD is the definition of pure Rock, just like the D is the definition in life. Even though something I think are pretty raw and x-rated, and they are, doesn't mean that this is bad to get, heck no. With so much stuff, this rocks and is a must for every rock lover out there. Love it.
